Trader Joe’s

Outstanding. Cheap, organic, quality, vegan options, cheap flowers and plants. I can’t get everything I need, but there is a super target next door to get the rest. Great location, great staff, love this place.

We love coming down to Trader Joes for the unique and affordable foods. I wish there was one in Duluth, or even better, in Cloquet. One can wish…

There’s need to be more of these around the Twin CIties. Seriously, I come here once every few months because I feel like I have to stock up, since there are none in the northern Twin cities area.
You can’t go wrong. Prices are awesome and the selection of frozen food and cheese options are too die for. You can never go wrong by coming here.
The worker here are pretty sweet too. Super friendly.

This is a great place, they helped me with my wine selection and it was great! His recommendation was excellent! I will be coming back here many times! I also love the produce section and the knowledgeable people working there!

Love this place. Great produce and a good variety of organic food that is reasonably priced. I am sad that they discontinued their Trader Joe veggie burgers. They were my favorite.

I shopped again last night and again had a great experience. their fruits and vegetable are always very fresh and better than those of surrounding grocery stores, a great value, and they always have the raspberry/​lime carbonated water I am looking for by the case. The service is outstanding and friendly! If it wasn’t for the dog food I have to get somewhere else, I’d do all my shopping there.

awesome, not too far away from me. I shop during the day on weekdays, so there were maybe 4 other shoppers in there at the same time! PERFECT and what a contrast from my previous life in SoCal going to TJ’s! Darn right pleasant.

Hooray!
I live about half way between this location and Highland. For quite a while I didn’t head to this area much, but with the ban of the Roseville SuperTarget in full swing, I’m quickly becoming a Shoreview shopper.
What isn’t there to love about Trader Joe’s in general? There is much more to enjoy at this location — great parking, easy in and out, friendly staff, great layout and actually not too crowded.
On second thought, why am I telling anyone about this place?

Always an excellent shopping experience! I love Shoreview for the large variety of shops and eateries in a relatively small space but with no parking hassles whatsoever. I’ll drive to this Trader Joe’s before any other because the size is good, selection excellent and parking abundant.
I adore their goat cheese logs. Most recently we got to try their Apple Cinnamon log and it was perfect for Autumn dinner parties, to eat as a snack or on warm French baguette. Their Blackberry Vanilla goat cheese log is great too. Other noteworthy items we enjoy are the Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork, great on their ciabatta rolls. Their Yellow Curry sauce, Trader Ming’s orange chicken and their classic hummus are exceptional. The coffee aisle is not to be missed! $ 4.99 for a container of their medium roast which you can grind yourself in-​store is a hit in our family. To finish off, their Salted Caramel Gelato will make you feel like the angels are singing to you in your mouth. Divine!

Nice layout, similar to the one on Raymond Ave. in St. Paul but not as crowded. Easy parking too…

I find myself going to this new Trader Joes quite often after many years of shopping at Byerly’s in Roseville.
I like the fact that there isn’t a large redundancy of products by multiple companies, so shopping can be accomplished reasonably quickly. And the prices are much better and the quality quite good for the most part.
Thankfully there isn’t a lot of people with their children running free like the large warehouse grocery stores.
I have not abandoned Byerly’s as they have some product that Trader Joes can’t match, but all in all, I really like the choices and the vibe.

Clean! Easy access to freeway and great variety with excellent CS! Can’t wait for those Jo Jo’s !

I’ve been pretty satisfied with the standard of quality I’ve seen at all of the Trader Joe’s locations in the metro. This one is tucked in behind a gas station. The parking lot doesn’t seem huge so I could see how it could become congested during peak hours but I’ve never really had a problem since I just make quick errands when I have some downtime at work nearby. I always like checking out the greeting cards they offer. I was expecting them to be at the back of the store but they are to the left of the checkout. The lad that helped me checkout was very cheerful. Told me how he was from West coast and how they let their employees try out locations in other states. That was pretty neat.

I love Trader Joe’s. I am so happy they landed in my neighborhood.
The produce is fresh and wonderful and the prices are very reasonable. There are some things I will only buy here (coffee, nuts). Their wine store has an excellent selection and competitive prices.
It’s a very popular place, but if you go on a week night instead of a weekend you will have a better experience.

This particular location does not hold a candle to the other options near my home. (Whole Foods, Aldi’s, Eastside Co-​op, Rainbow…) The options were limited, gluten free items lacked labeling that allowed them to stand out, and the prices were comparable to my Co-​op so I’d rather just shop there. We found a fraction of the items we were looking for. I wont be going back.

This place is a zoo! I waited for 10 minutes with my 2yr old just to get broccoli. The layout is just not efficient enough for the amount of people who come here. I will continue going to the trader joes in woodbury.
The only positive Was this older man at the checkout who seemed to brighten my experience and put a smile on my daughters face from crying because we had to wait so long for everything.

Yay! I finally have my very own Trader Joe’s. I’ve been here about 6 times since they opened a few weeks ago, and it’s been really good every time. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I love being able to easily find a lot of free range meat & egg choices, great produce, and tons of tasty treats. Their frozen, cooked edamame is the best. The French baguettes… yum. I could go on and on.

I am from Los Angeles and came here around 5pm during a weekeday. Not that crowded yet, so it was a good shopping experience. I still prefer food and produce here over anything local unless it is a Kowaskis/​Byerlys or other more high end grocery store.

A TJ anywhere is never a bad thing. I’ll go if I’m out this way, however it’s as tight as the one in St. Paul, and it wasn’t as bright inside. They had 1 package left of the sliced cheese variety pack for a party. Always a great variety of the most delicious hummus. Nice seasonal flowers, not the cool pumpkin vines, but I didn’t need them anyway. My favorite staple is the mayonnaise. The shopping cart situation seems ok, they’re all different. I really am getting tired of the closet sized stores. Is Maple Grove, the only roomy one. They should offer smaller carts, like they do at Kowalski’s, can’t stand the carrying kind. The price is always right.

Finally NE Metro gets a Trader Joe’s
Not that I don’t like the other ones, but its nice to have one nearby. They just opened, but the stock is chock full of interesting tidbits to try.
If you’ve never been to a Trader Joe’s, its kind of a natural food store that doesn’t take itself too seriously. That means not everything in here is organic. but there are plenty of offerings that fit the bill.
I bought some tasty hummus, pita chips, maple cookies, and some sunflower butter today. Of course I also got my staples of dried mango and candied ginger.
There was no pit ham in the meat section. Those things are great, so I hope they get them soon.
